One of those fortune cookies that I opened said that major changes were going to happen in my life. That was over ten years ago and I'm still waiting.

James Mixon,
"Is there a scripture that say you will be destroyed when the big one comes if you read your fortune cookie, they may ask."
Yes there are scriptures:
The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so. Deuteronomy 18:14 New International Version
Fortune cookies are considered to be a form of divination.

Why is a mass shooting in a church worse than other mass shootings?
by undercover ini'll preface this by saying that i was horrified by the news of the shooting in charleston, a town that i visit quite frequently, and i know where the church is.
i don't mean to make light of the situation, but my question is serious, after having watched news pundits, politicians, neighbors, friends, express shock, horror and outrage over the events.. they, like me, were shocked by the school shootings, and the theater shootings, and other mass shootings.
but i sense a different shock, a different reaction, to this event.

undercover,
"Why? Why is a shooting in a church where nine people are killed worse than twelve people killed in a movie theater?"
What Laika and CalebInFloroda said. Those people actually interacted with their shooter and put trust in him. I speak as an atheist.

Laika,
"These [abuse victims] aren't apostates, these are people who have suffered from horrible, horrible crimes and had their lives completely wrecked..."If they confront the organization then they are apostates. It is the Watchtower that defines apostasy any way they want to."They're not out to destroy the organisation."If justice were to be served for every JW victim of child abuse that would destroy the organization. Financially at least. -

Why are JWs so against debate
by enigma1863 inif the jws follow proverbs 27:17 they should not be afraid of any tension or friction.. in order for iron to sharpen iron you need pressure, tension friction and a bit of heated debate..

Laika,
"Even a 'born again' fundie would embarrass a JW in a debate, if they were prepared." I know that from my experience as a JW. -

Excuse me for going off topic but the irony is too much to bear.
I see 4 bald headed men with one that is half bald. So what? Russell is supposed to have said in the book The Finished Mystery:
"A study of the foregoing leads to the conclusion that the various churches must have been founded by bald-headed men, and the smoke being unable to find its way out through their scalps naturally had to come out of their mouths!"
Please don't ask for an explanation. Here it is.

Religious explanation for suffering vs church shootings
by Simon inwhenever there is a discussion about the "godness" of god and whether he can be described as both "good" and "all powerful" given that he could avoid untold suffering and death for millions of people in earthquakes, floods, tidal waves and other disasters we are often given the same answer:.
"you don't know why he lets it happen but he has a plan".. bleh.
often they throw in some snippets that suggest the people may actually deserve it for not praying to the right god or not praying hard enough.. of course it's easy to dismiss the death of all those faceless unknown people.. so, i present to you a new thought experiment for the righteous to grapple with.. i dare you to use the same arguments to explain the deaths of the people in the recent church shooting.. were they not praying hard enough?

It's all mom's (Eve) fault for fooling daddy (Adam) with that tasty fruit. God goes along with all the consequences of the original sin and allows for hideous things to happen so that we may be eternally grateful when we get to heaven and live happily ever after.
